Vanguard Reverses Infosys Deal Amid Hyderabad GCC Expansion

US asset manager Vanguard is reversing part of its outsourcing arrangement with Infosys, focusing on in-house tech capabilities while expanding its Hyderabad Global Capability Centre (GCC), as per The Moneycontrol report. 

Reversal of Infosys Partnership 

The original deal, signed in 2020, saw Infosys take over Vanguard’s defined contribution recordkeeping business operations. Vanguard is now reversing part of this arrangement by absorbing around 248 Infosys BPM employees in Chesterbrook, Pennsylvania. 

This transition, prompted by filing with the Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry, will start on March 29, 2026, continuing until September 30, 2026.  

A majority of these employees have accepted positions with Vanguard, reflecting the asset manager’s move towards bolstering its internal operations. 

Hyderabad Global Capability Centre 

Concurrently, Vanguard is enhancing its technology footprint in India through its Hyderabad GCC. Announced in December 2025, the centre is envisioned as a long-term engineering hub. The facility will support technology development, data analytics, and more. 

Vanguard's decision to reverse some of its engagements with Infosys aligns with a broader industry trend of balancing outsourcing agreements with in-house technological advancements. 

Impact on Employees and Operations 

The change affects 248 employees previously part of the Infosys-managed operations for Vanguard.  

Most employees have now been integrated into Vanguard. This readjustment reflects the growing need for companies to maintain greater control over technology operations, a need increasingly met by establishing local GCCs.

This transition helps firms like Vanguard manage costs while ensuring that core technological competencies remain in-house. 

Conclusion 

Vanguard’s decision to reverse its Infosys partnership partially and expand its Hyderabad GCC underscores a strategic shift. The move aligns with a broader trend towards self-sufficiency in tech operations while adapting to changing market demands.
